A fast start will be important for NYCFC in Orlando on Sunday, according to new midfielder Alex Ring.
The Finland international is one of 12 players vying for debuts in Florida and he believes that the team needs to do all it can to silence the party atmosphere in Orlando’s new stadium.
Ring is someone who has played on the highest stage for his nation in important FIFA World Cup qualifiers and is banking on this type of experience in the NYCFC ranks to carry them through.
The 25-year old impressed on his non-competitive debut against Sporting Kansas City and is primed for his first MLS minutes in this showdown with Jason Kreis’s side.
